After changing, Yu Xiaoduo took a look at herself. Not bad, not bad at all — she looked just like a schoolgirl.
But she figured tying her hair up in a ponytail would be better; it looked much more lively that way.
If it weren’t for President Gu’s cold, rigid personality, she’d actually fit the ideal partner criteria pretty well.
Faced with a dazzling array of high heels, Yu Xiaoduo decisively chose a pair of sneakers. Finally, no more high heels — thank goodness.
Spotting a car key on the shoe cabinet, Yu Xiaoduo grabbed it and walked out, but she didn’t see a car.
She pressed the key fob a few times, and the sound came from a nearby garage.
Opening the garage, what sat inside was no supercar. It was even cheaper than her own BMW 530 — a vintage pink Beetle. This had to be little Yun’er’s ride.
Getting into the car, she caught the familiar scent of perfume just as a text from Master Bai came through.
The address was Longhai City International Airport.
So this was “going out for a walk”? She’d have to fly somewhere? They weren’t going to dump her body out in the wilderness, were they?
Forget it. A favor for her sister-in-law was still a favor. But she’d better call Gu Wan’er first to let her know.
At that moment, Gu Wan’er was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast, wondering why she hadn’t changed back into herself today. Was her theory wrong after all?
Seeing a call from Yu Xiaoduo, Gu Wan’er put it on speaker. “Hello?”
“President Gu, I forgot to mention something. Your sister suddenly came back last night.”
“Cough, cough, cough!!!” Gu Wan’er, who’d been eating a fried egg, choked immediately. Yun’er had come all the way here for her?
She knew her sister’s personality well enough — she never clung to anyone but her, and sometimes she’d pull pranks that could scare her half to death. There were times she felt her sister hadn’t grown up at all, even going so far as to shamelessly sleep in the same bed and chat the night away.
Could the same thing have happened last night?
“President Gu, your sister is absolutely adorable. She really clings to you, doesn’t she?” Yu Xiaoduo chuckled.
Gu Wan’er immediately warned, “Yu Xiaoduo, if you try anything funny with my sister, I won’t let you off.”
“President Gu, what kind of thing is that to say?” Yu Xiaoduo protested. She was clearly planning to set her sister up with her, so why pretend to be angry? They’d be family soon enough; no need for such formalities between them.
“Tell her to go back immediately.”
“She said her film crew is here, so she came over. Besides, you’re her older sister — why should I be the bad guy?” Yu Xiaoduo had no desire to be harsh with sweet little Yun’er. She just couldn’t bring herself to do it.
Gu Wan’er frowned. Yun’er was shooting a drama here? She hadn’t mentioned it when she’d come before. She was probably planning another “surprise.”
Oh, dear sister, this is hardly a surprise. Your big sister is barely managing as it is, and you have to come and add to the chaos.
“By the way, Master Bai just called. She wants me to go out for a walk, and I’m on my way there now,” Yu Xiaoduo said seriously. The matter of little Yun’er could wait, but Master Bai was a top priority.
Sure enough, hearing this news, Gu Wan’er was immediately delighted. Thank goodness their bodies hadn’t switched today; with her own abilities, she wouldn’t be able to handle Master Bai.
“Then be careful. Deal with Master Bai well. I’ll take care of things with my sister,” Gu Wan’er said, her tone instantly relaxing.
“Mm, don’t worry.”
“Thank you.”
“Why be so formal with me?” Yu Xiaoduo grinned. You’re willing to set me up with such a cute sister, after all.
Gu Wan’er rolled her eyes. This guy was trying to get chummy again. “By the way, my sister didn’t insist on sleeping with you last night, did she?”
“How could she not? Good thing I’d rather die than give in,” Yu Xiaoduo hurriedly denied it. That was a little secret between her and Yun’er.
Hearing this answer, Gu Wan’er breathed a sigh of relief. “Alright, I’ve got it. I’m hanging up now. Call me if there’s any problem.”
After hanging up, Gu Wan’er wanted to call her sister, but stopped immediately — right now, she was Yu Xiaoduo.
She could only send her a WeChat message.
“Yun’er, did you sleep well last night?” Gu Wan’er just wanted to test the waters and see if Yu Xiaoduo had lied.
In the car, Gu Yun’er saw the message from her “sister” and felt a sweet warmth in her heart. “Sis, don’t worry, I’m full of energy.”
Reading her sister’s reply, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
“Make sure you sleep properly by yourself at night, okay?”
Huh? What did her sister mean by that? Was she afraid of “payback”? Humph. After spanking her so hard, tonight she would launch her “revenge” operation. But first, she’d throw her off the scent.
“Okay, I get it. I promise I’ll sleep properly.”
Gu Wan’er breathed a little easier. As long as her sister didn’t act up, Yu Xiaoduo wouldn’t dare try anything. And come to think of it, what could he possibly do anyway?
On the other side, Yu Xiaoduo parked the car and sent Master Bai a message.
Soon, the scar-faced man emerged from the VIP passage of the parking lot, approached Yu Xiaoduo, and said, “Miss Gu, this way, please.”
Look at his attitude today — much improved.
It was Yu Xiaoduo’s first time using the VIP passage. Truly a path only the wealthy took. She arrived outside a room where the scar-faced man stood respectfully to the side. “Master Bai has been waiting for some time now.”
Pushing open the door, Yu Xiaoduo saw Master Bai again and couldn’t help but be stunned by her beauty as always. However, today Master Bai had changed her style to sporty wear, though it still couldn’t hide her stunning figure.
“Master Bai,” Yu Xiaoduo greeted coolly, sensing the distance Master Bai was keeping today. Oh, Gu Wan’er, you really are more trouble than you’re worth.
Bai Ji glanced at Yu Xiaoduo and gave a simple “Mm,” before saying, “Follow me.”
Yu Xiaoduo sighed inwardly. The conversation with Master Bai the other day had been so pleasant, and now look — it was as stiff as could be.
In moments like this, keeping calm was crucial. Dealing with Master Bai required both firmness and gentleness, and she still had to maintain Gu Wan’er’s poise.
Soon, Yu Xiaoduo was shocked by Master Bai’s wealth. She’d thought they’d be flying commercial, but it was actually Master Bai’s private jet — a Gulfstream G500.
Whoever married Master Bai could skip a thousand years of struggle.
After boarding, Yu Xiaoduo saw Bai Ji sit down, and deliberately chose a seat far away from her. She’d keep her distance.
Bai Ji’s elegant brows furrowed slightly. She’s sitting so far away? Is she upset? Or what’s going on?
As the plane climbed, the cabin was fairly comfortable, save for a faint hum.
Half an hour later, Bai Ji put down her magazine and finally couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Gu, why are you sitting so far away?”
Hearing Master Bai’s words, Yu Xiaoduo felt a surge of joy. She hadn’t been completely written off in Master Bai’s mind after all.
“I feared I might offend your eyes, so I kept my distance,” she replied.
Bai Ji was quite surprised. Why would she think that? Was it because of her cold behavior the other day? Young girls were just young girls.
“Alright, come sit over here,” Bai Ji said with a slight smile. She found the sulking version of Gu Wan’er far more appealing than the one who talked big about ideals.
Ha. Don’t think that just because you’re Master Bai, I’ll come running.
Yu Xiaoduo simply turned a wronged face toward the white clouds outside, looking so pitiful that anyone would feel for her — she played the part of a woman to absolute perfection.
